 Brandywine looked very strong throughout, but gave up a couple of long trys in the 1st half and then more of the same in the 2nd. Red Mountain 41 - Brandywine 18.
Brandywine kept it tight for most of the first half and continued to gain ground, but Red Mountain was able to escape and score on a few long runs. Red Mountain opened up the lead in the second half capitalizing on Brandywine miscues.
Overall, Brandywine had their way with Red Mountain between the 22s, but was unable to punch in points when it mattered.

Red Mountain clinched the Division II National Championship with its convincing 41-18 win over the top-seeded Brandywine side in today’s afternoon match. Red Mountain actually led 17-8 at halftime and never looked back, scoring another 17 consecutive points in the second half en route to its first National Championship title, as well.
“We came out extremely aggressive and were able to maintain that level throughout,” Red Mountain Coach Kevin Torkelson said. “We have been in three USA Rugby National Championships now, and we know what to expect. I think that kind of experience helps in a number of ways.
“I have to give Brandywine credit, though, they really stayed after it the whole time and in both of our games this weekend - the score didn’t necessarily reflect the difficulty of our competition.
